CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT : HALLOWEEN DANCE

~Hermione~
Halloween dance is in a week. So far, Ron had asked lavender out and Harry asked Ginny. At first I was against Ron asking lavender but then I thought - who cares?!. I mean, it's his live and no, I'm not jealous. Besides, I've got my eye on another guy.

Actually, at least half the boys from school had tried to ask me out.( fine. I could be exaggerating a little.) I could name a whole list of them actually( again. I'm exaggerating. Maybe only 5 asked me out. But hey, that's still something right?) Well, some did tried flirting with me but I acted all innocent-maybe I seemed a bit dumb-and acted likes didn't know what they were trying to do. Meh.
****

Three days to Halloween. Three days!!! And he still didn't ask me out! How disappointing!! URGGGGHHHHHH!!!
Well I'm still not giving up hope and I'm still not paying attention to any other guy!

I never knew I would regret that decision.

****
*squeels this whole thing⇩*

Tomorrows the danceand still no date!!!!!!!! I'm desperate now! I can't go to the dance all alone!!! I just can't! I'll seem like a nerd! ALL my friends got dates! Even that sloppy Ron! Heck, Luna just got her date this morning! Neville just a asked her out and she wasn't even mad it was last minute! Now I'm okay with anyone asking me out. It can be anyone I'm just desperate here!!!😱😱😱
****

Today's the day I go to the dance all alone! Halloween. Ron, Harry and everybody else I know has already gotten themselves a date. Tommy took Heather, Ron took Lavender, Harry took Ginny, Dean took Parvati, Seamus took Padma, and I lost count. The twins somehow found their dates. Everyone had dates except for me. Fucking me!
I was freaking out at this point. This is my first Halloween dance. Ever. And I'm going alone! I knew I should've flirted back with the boys that used to do so to me. Curse myself!
I watched as Luna dabbed her powder on her face, getting ready herself. I felt kinda jealous.
***
I sat and watched everyone dancing in the middle of the Great Hall, it had been decorated beautifully.
For some reason, this year, they had allowed the first and second years attend the Halloween Dance. And they all had dates. How pathetic eight? I mean, an eleven year old gets a date and I don't? Why do I have such a curse!!!

Oh I don't know, maybe because you've been criticizing your innocent little sister because of her curse, and you refused to flirt back with boys ! A little voice in my head said.

Well don't blame me! I was trying to protect her! And maybe I did feel remorse a bit but still! I tried arguing in my head, defending myself.

I just sighed. Heather was dancing with Tommy, they looked so cute together. My little sister looked so happy with him. I looked over at another boy who I recognized as Draco's younger brother. He was glaring at tommy. Was it possible that yelled my sister. That certainly made me feel slot more better.(note sarcasm).

I looked at Harry dancing with Ginny. They looked so peaceful together. Though Ginny dos look really conscious. Her eyes kept going everywhere but Harry's eyes. She looked really nervous. I adverted my eyes towards Ron and his precious lav-lav. I mean, seriously she's need calling him won-won ever since he asked her out the other day. That really gets on my nerves. I wonder how he puts up with her. I can't even stand looking at her. So to piss her off, I call her Lav-Lav. That's a stupid, yet funny nickname right? They were trying to dance swift fully according to the rhythm while they locked eyes. Note that I said trying. They were horrible at dancing. They kept tripping on each other's foot! But they did look like they were having fun cuz they kept laughing like fools. I sighed.

Finally, my eyes fixed on this berg particular someone. He looked so gorgeous tonight. He was the one I wanted to go to this dance with. But alas! He chose some bitch over me. He chose Millicent! I mean, come on man! I look so much better than her and I'm so much smarter! He just had to pick that fuqing ass hole over me! URGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Why, oh why is fate this cruel!!!! I mean what does Millicent has that I don't?!
Huh?!?!
Well lemme try to list them out :

1- ugliness
2- dumbness
3- shortness
4- horrible hair
6- practically all the negative stuff you can think of
7- I bet she wouldn't notice I skipped number 5!

Now what do I have that she doesn't? Well let's see shall we?

1- I'm obviously more beautiful than her (not to brag but I'm pretty sure that the truth)
2- cleverness
3- lovely hair (okay, maybe sometimes)
4- I'm so much taller than her
5- I would have noticed we skipped this number!
6- practically opposite of all the stuff you think of stupid Millicent!
I mean..... The only thing we have in common are our eyes. We both had the same coloured eyes. We both had that beautiful sharp light brown colour not many have. Just my luck huh? I had to have the same eye colour as the one who stole my man!

To cool myself off, I went to get myself some punch. I saw my sister run up to me.

'Hey hermione! You're here alone?'
I was hoping no one would find out how pathetic I am but all my plans just seem to backfire now a days huh?
'Yup.'
'No one asked you out?' She asked
'Well many did but I just wanted to go alone. Some even asked me before the ball. I just wanted to go alone and enjoy everything by myself.'
I know that was a stupid lie but whatever. I wanted to seem cool.
'O-Kay...' Heather answered quite unsure. I just brushed it off.
'You can join us if you want you know.' My sister said.
'No, thank you. In fact, I'm feeling kinda tired now. This heels are killing me.' I said hoping she wouldn't look down at my feet since my heels weren't very high but thankfully, I was wearing along dress so thank God!
'Okay then!' Heather said cheerfully before running off towards Tommy.

Actually I wasn't even that tired. I washouts sick of watching him dance with Millicent. I walked to the dormitory before jumping into bed without changing into my pyjamas and thought about tonight. I soon fell asleep lost in thought.
